Insights into Itochu's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2024, Itochu generated a total of 609,558 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 76.83% of Itochu's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 23.17% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
Itochu's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Itochu's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, Itochu reported a total waste generation of 609,558 metric tonnes, of which 76.83% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Itochu has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.
Has Itochu reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2020, Itochu's total waste generation remained relatively flat, but fell by 4.78% in 2024 , which may reflect the beginning of a downward trend in material intensity or waste generation.
Over the same period, Itochu's waste recovery rate increased by 189.49%, but declined by 3.11% in 2024, potentially signaling volatility in waste treatment processes or shifting priorities in waste management.
Overall, Itochu’s waste generation and recovery data show a mixed and inconsistent trend. A deeper analysis of the company's activities, industry benchmarks, and operational changes is needed to assess its sustainability performance more precisely.
